Mark 6:6-13 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 6:1-6

Here, I. Christ makes a visit to his own country, the place not of his birth, but of his education; that was Nazareth; where his relations were. He had been in danger of his life among them (Luke 4:29), and yet he came among them again; so strangely doth he wait to be gracious, and seek the salvation of his enemies. Whither he went, though it was into danger, his disciples followed him (Mark 6:1); for they had left all, to follow him whithersoever he went. II. There he preached in their... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 6:7-13

Here is, I. The commission given to the twelve apostles, to preach and work miracles; it is the same which we had more largely, Matt. 10:1-42. Mark doth not name them here, as Matthew doth, because he had named them before, when they were first called into fellowship with him, Mark 3:16-19. Hitherto they had been conversant with Christ, and had set at his feet, had heard his doctrine, and seen his miracles; and now he determines to make some use of them; they had received, that they might... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 6:1-6

6:1-6 Jesus left there and came into his own native place, and his disciples went with him. When the Sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue. Many, as they listened, were amazed. "Where," they said, "did this man get this knowledge? What wisdom is this that has been given to him? And how can such wonderful things keep happening through his hands? Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses and Judah and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?" And they took... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 6:7-11

6:7-11 Jesus called The Twelve to him and he began to send them out in twos. He gave them power over unclean spirits. He ordered them to take nothing for the road except a staff. He ordered them not to take bread, or a wallet, or a copper coin in their belts. He ordered them to wear sandals and, he said, "You must not put on two tunics." He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there, until you leave that place; and, if any place refuses to give you hospitality, and, if in any... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 6:12-13

6:12-13 So they went out and heralded forth the summons to repentance; and they cast out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. Here in brief summary is an account of the work that the Twelve did when Jesus sent them out. (i) To the people they brought Jesus' message. The word used is literally that used for a heralds proclamation. When the apostles went out to preach to men, they did not create a message; they brought a message. they did not ten people what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:6

And he marvelled because of their unbelief ,.... Which was the reason, as Matthew says, Matthew 13:58 , why he did not many mighty works there, because they continued their prejudices against him, and their unbelief in him, notwithstanding what he did do, which was matter of admiration to him; wherefore he took his leave of them, as an ungrateful and unworthy people; and it is never after observed, that he returned there any more. It was a surprise to Christ, as man, that his country men... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:7

And he called unto him the twelve ,.... "His twelve disciples", as some copies read; whom he had before called by his grace, and had appointed and ordained them his apostles, but had not yet publicly sent forth; in order to which, he now called them to him, and gave them their commission, qualifications, and instructions: and began to send them forth by two and two : he first sent forth one couple, and then another; the reason of his sending them by pairs, was partly for the sake of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:8

And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey ,.... To accommodate them in it, except those things after directed to: save a staff only ; a single one, for staves in the plural number are forbidden; see Gill on Matthew 10:10 ; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse . Travellers used to put their bread, or any other sort of food into their scrips, and their money in their girdles; but the disciples were not allowed to carry either, because provision was... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:9

But be shod with sandals ,.... Which were different from shoes, and more fit to travel with, and therefore allowed when shoes were forbidden; See Gill on Matthew 10:10 , though some think there was no difference between shoes and sandals, and that Christ, in Matthew 10:10 , does not forbid the taking of shoes, but two pair of shoes; as not two coats, nor two staves, but one of a sort only. And not put on two coats ; that is, at a time; an inner and an outward one, or one at one time,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:10

And he said unto them ,.... He continued giving orders and directions to them, saying, in what place soever you enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place : that is, in whatsoever city or town they should come to, the first house they went into, they should continue in, during their stay in that city or town, and not shift from house to house; See Gill on Matthew 10:11 . read more
